Ingredients

  • 350 g sticky rice (cooked)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 roll of yesterday’s bread
  • a handful of coriander leaves
  • 12 raw shrimp (shell on, headless)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat the oven grill. Season the rice with fish sauce and chili. With damp hands form 12 balls. Grate the bread on a kitchen grater to make crumbs. Wash the coriander, dry and finely chop the leaves. Rinse the shrimp, pat dry with paper towels and peel so the tail fin remains. Make a long cut along the back of each shrimp and remove the black vein.

  2. 2.

    Mix the chopped coriander with the crumbs and roll the rice balls in the mixture. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet skin side down and gently press the rice balls onto the shrimp. Bake in the oven on the middle rack for about 10 minutes until lightly browned.
